I'm in Thailand on a non-immigrant o type Visa. We intend to apply for a marriage visa. My wife is thai we married in the U.S. We went to Kasikorn Bank to open an account. I had a printed copy of my evisa, my digital arrival card, my passport and our rental agreement. We also had with us a copy of our us marriage license that had been certified by the state the state department and the Thai Embassy in the United States.

Kasikorn Bank refuse to allow me to open up a bank account. I don't understand what's going on has anybody else had this experience with Kasikorn Bank?

Anybody knows, does Phuket Immigration cancel a DTV and afterwards issue a Non Immigrant O visa (retirement)?

Quick question: I have an Elite visa that is about to expire, and I plan to switch to a Non-Immigrant O (marriage) visa. My plan was to go to Savannakhet, show my 400,000 THB bank letter, and apply there like people used to do.

But I just saw an announcement from the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet saying that starting 1 January 2025, all visa applications must be submitted through the e-Visa system, and applicants can no longer submit passports or documents in person. It also says you can only apply once you are already outside Thailand.

Can anyone confirm if this is really true?

Is Savannakhet now 100% e-Visa only with no walk-ins for any visa type, including Non-O marriage visas?

Is this the same way for all other consulates?

If anyone has recent (2025) experience, please let me know. Thanks!

How many days prior to the expiration of my Non-Immigrant O visa can I apply for my annual extension?  Also, is the timeframe the same whether I am doing it on my own or using an agent? Thanks 🙏

Hi, i have a question about the non imm O visa which i have got through now, just been filling out the TDAC and its asking for my departure flight details. i am not exactly sure when im leaving, obviously before my 90 days are up, but it could be a fair bit sooner as i want to go to Japan too. so i have not got an onward flight.

Also at the end it says travellers need to have who approved vaccines ? its asking for which countries you have been to within the last 2 weeks and is not accepting GBR ?

Good day all.

Time for another extension of my non-immigrant "O" visa based on a Thai child. I've used the search function to look for changes to the criteria as the authorities are well-known for tweaks that can torpedo a perfectly decent application but it's very confusing.

Is it the case that the 400k now has to be seasoned in a Thai bank account for 90 days/3 months prior to application?

Yesterday I got my first 1 year extension at Saraburi Immigration on a Non-Immigrant O Visa based on being over 50 years old ("retirement") and that feels great!

In two earlier posts I mentioned that this office refused my income letter from Swedish Embassy on my first visit about 3 weeks ago, IO told me to open a bank account and start to transfer money from abroad into it.

So I did, transferred 65 000 baht in October and also a few days ago in November, had my updated pass book, a bank account statement and a certificate from my bank Kasikorn with me to present.

Now that income letter from Embassy became valid together with my bank documents, enough to grant my first 1 year extension.

About proof of transactions coming from abroad it was enough with that code (see photo) on my updated pass book, that means "international transaction" at least on a Kasikorn pass book.

Immigration Officer told me from next month to transfer around 67 000 baht, not 65 000, every month the coming year to reach up to the total sum of 800 000 baht.

The dates can be any as long as I transfer 67 000 baht every single calendar month to get my next 1 year extension using same method.

At the same visit I bought a single re-entry permit so I don't forget about it if I wait to buy it on the airport instead.

My costs was a little bit different than normal I believe, 2200 baht for my extension and 1100 baht for the re-entry permit, use to be 1900 both if I'm not wrong.

Sorry for a long one but I felt I wanted to share how everything about my extension ended because I posted about it before.

Obs, this was on Saraburi Immigration Office .

Has anybody changed their Non-Immigrant O Visa based on retirement To a Non-Immigrant O Visa based on marriage?

Is it as easy as waiting for my retirement visa to run out then apply for the marriage visa?

TIA
